Lou Holtz is one of the most successful college football coaches of all time. Holtz, an Ohio Valley native, is the only coach in college football history to take 6 different teams to a bowl game, win 5 bowl games with different teams, and have 4 different college teams ranked in the final Top 20 poll. As head coach at Notre Dame, Holtz took the Fighting Irish back to the ranks of college football’s elite and earned a sterling reputation for taking football programs and elevating them a level or two on their way to the Top 20. He has been a college football analyst for ESPN and CBS Sports and is considered one of the greatest motivational speakers in America today.
